ẹ̀bà

ẹ̀bà - birthed in chicago where the dark matter resides, the black flowers of elijah jamal asani, brandon markell holmes, and angel bat dawid find their wings as they converge into an ephemeral trio whose soul intentions are to summon new ancestral lineage to the orisha of music, ayan. named after the traditional yoruba term for fufu, each member of ẹ̀bà has grown solo reputation as composers in their respective artistic communities; though the prowess of each artist blossoms when combined, even with only a pair of improvisational performances as a troup.
